WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama will argue that India’s emerging might can help speed the US economy’s slow crawl out of crisis on a state visit next month packed with business-themed events.
After an expected rebuke from voters in mid-term elections, and with few economists predicting a quick return to soaring US growth, Obama will speak as much to Americans as the population of India on his three-day visit.
“We’re talking about the fastest-growing economic region of the world and our ability to interact with it, to sell our goods and our services,” said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs previewing Obama’s trip on Wednesday.
